Rihanna finally goes back to brunette: much improved or still trashy?

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 08:44 AM PDT

Rihanna has been in Tokyo over the past few days to promote her debut acting role in Battleship, and she’s finally decided to ditch her busted blonde stripper weave. Thank goodness. Now RiRi is back to brunette and has tweeted these photos with the caption, “Cuz I’m black bitch.” The Mail also has some photos of Rihanna rocking her new locks at a photocall. Doesn’t she look so much better now?

In other RiRi news, the singer is now dropping hints in the press that she’d love to play Whitney Houston in a rumored biopic. A bit presumptuous, perhaps?

Rihanna has revealed she would “love” to portray the late Whitney Houston on the big screen.

The Talk That Talk singer, who makes her acting debut in Peter Berg’s sci-fi action adventure Battleship, shrugged off rumours she is in the running to play the late legend in a forthcoming biopic, but admitted she would be honoured to take the role.

“I didn’t get that call yet,” said the 24-year-old, adding: “That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off. That’s a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job.”

The 48-year-old singer died on February 11 in California, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party. Her record label boss and friend Clive Davis is reportedly at the helm of the planned film, with Jennifer Hudson also on the shortlist.

Rihanna considers Houston a musical inspiration.

“I met her at a Clive Davis party. I love her. She’s one of my big music icons, and I have always looked up to her,” she continued.

“My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song – ‘I Will Always Love You.’ All of her music actually was always played in my house, with Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. It was really inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music, so really she’s partly responsible for me being here in this industry.”

Rihanna also revealed she would like to try comedy.

“I want to try different roles – maybe comedy next, or who knows? I like sarcastic, dry humour: I love movies like Superbad and Pineapple Express, pretty (much) all Seth Rogen’s movies.”

[From Belfast Telegraph]

I can totally believe that Rihanna adores Seth Rogen movies (especially Pineapple Express) because she loves the pot. I’m not sure what to think about the idea of Rihanna as an actress, so we’ll have to wait and see how she fares once Battleship hits stateside theaters on May 18. It does seem rather opportunistic (not to mention insensitive) to start talking up how much she’d love to play Whitney Houston so soon after such an untimely death, but I guess that’s just the nature of Hollywood.

In the meantime, here are some photos of Rihanna giving one last hurrah to that dreadful bottle-blonde ‘do. She’s wearing a really ugly Stella McCartney (whom she loves to wear) jacket as a dress in London and favoring a more relaxed look while arriving in the Tokyo airport. I’m so glad she got rid of that color.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian at the ACM Awards: hilarious and amazing?

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 08:38 AM PDT

LeAnn Rimes

I wish I could accurately describe how much pleasure these LeAnn Rimes photos gave me. It's not just because LeAnn is wearing this hideous Stella McCartney dress, which at this point, the dress is so over-worn by celebrities, it needs to be dragged out into the street and put out of its misery. I'm also getting so much pleasure from LeAnn's posing. She posed solo on the red carpet for a time, and then she snapped her fingers and whistled for her man-servant (I'm guessing) and Eddie came running. Then the real posing started. And it was glorious. LeAnn opens her mouth so wide and then she laughs into Eddie's face and then she stomps her hoof and it's all just so amazing. I love when she presses herself against him, even forcing her knee in-between his legs. She's so possessive! We get it, LeAnn! You got the "prize."

As for LeAnn's dress – as I said, it's Stella McCartney. Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooklyn Decker and many, many more celebrities have worn this dress or a version of this dress for public appearances over the past few months. Which is weird – why would LeAnn choose a dress which has been so over-worn? Did she not realize? Or did she just think she could do it better? Hahahaha. The Mail even points out that Nicole Kidman wore a long-sleeved version of this dress to a country music show last year – a show where LeAnn performed. OMG, is LeAnn Single-White-Female-ing Nicole Kidman now? To give LeAnn some minor credit – her body is looking much better lately. She gained some weight back, and it looks really good on her.

LeAnn was there to present Single of the Year. She tweeted this photo from backstage. I LOVE HER. Who tweets photos of themselves like this?

Lindsay Lohan wants us to know that she’s “sworn off dating” right now

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 08:37 AM PDT

Lindsay Lohan

Ugh, I don't even know with this crackhead. I was actually going to do some research for this post, just because I couldn't remember – off the top of my head – who Lindsay Lohan last dated in an official way. I'm not talking about "dated" – as in, some random hotel dude who paid Lohan for her services in access and blow. Who was the last dude (or lady) that Lohan dated? There was a rumor about the Cracken and Dennis Hopper's 21-year-old son, but LL threatened to sue over those stories. And of course, there was the Terry Richardson stuff. What does it say about you if your last "boyfriend" was Terry Richardson? Dear God. Anyway, now that the Cracken is tasting the sweet, powdery goodness of freedom, she's thinking about her career comeback, of course. And this role as Elizabeth Taylor is just too, too important to LL for her to screw it up by "dating" anyone.

Lindsay Lohan is focused on her career now that she’s off probation and to make sure nothing gets in the way of her upcoming roles, she has sworn off dating for the time being … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ she wants to avoid any relationships or emotional attachments as she gets ready to shoot her Liz Taylor movie for Lifetime. Our sources say Lindsay wants to devote all her spare time to reading the script and getting Liz’s persona down pat … rather than focus on a new relationship.

We’re told Lindsay has had her fair share of intense relationships (ya think!?!?) and she doesn’t want anything to derail her comeback.

Sorry, boys.

[From TMZ]

Well, you know Samantha Ronson just broke up with her girlfriend. Methinks this is the Cracken's opening salvo to SamRo, hoping to reel in her ex-girlfriend for one more go-around. That makes me feel sorry for Samantha, honestly. LL has crack-stalked her for years, and while the crack-stalking is really funny (because LL thinks she's being clever), it's also really scary. If Lindsay and Samantha weren't both women, Lindsay's stalker behavior would be seen as a lot scarier and more threatening. Hopefully, LL is over it. Hopefully, LL is leaving Samantha alone. Hopefully, this report is just about Lohan's romantic life, and not her career as a cracked-out call girl.

Kris Humphries wants Kim Kardashian to admit that everything was staged

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 08:00 AM PDT

Kris Humphries

I'll have you know that I looked around for a good ten minutes before I simply gave in and decided to write about The Sad Ballad of Basketball Humphries. I need to come up with a better name for this junk. Fake-Marriage-gate? Too much of a mouthful. "Kris & Kim: The Neverending Divorce". Eh. I'm not at my best today. Anyway, Page Six – who are acting like Kris's spokespeople at this point – claims that Kim Kardashian took my advice and simply offered Kris Humphries $7 million to just walk away and leave everybody alone. Page Six says that Kris "refused" the settlement offer because he wants Kim to admit that everything was faked. Ugh.

Kris Humphries is refusing to divorce Kim Kardashian unless she gives him a "public apology" and admits "the entire wedding was staged by her and her family."

Sources tell us Nets star Humphries is holding back on a divorce settlement with the reality raven and even turned down a $7 million offer from her to "shut up and go away."

A friend of Humphries told us, "Kim's camp is depicting him as money-hungry, but in fact he turned down a $7 million settlement. Her camp is putting out stories about 'Kim's divorce hell' hoping he'll cave in, but he won't.

"Kris wants Kim to admit to fraud, to admit the whole thing was staged for publicity, to make a public apology to him because he really wanted a marriage," our insider said.
Humphries and his camp are furious at what they claim is a campaign by Team Kim to attack him in the press. One friend added, "They are trying to spin Kim as the victim, but Kris isn't going to stand for it."

The divorce has been stalled because Humphries took the unusual step of filing for an annulment based on fraud. He is also demanding Kim reveal how much she earned during their 72-day marriage, claiming she hasn't given an honest account of the money made from their wedding. According to reports, Kris has complied with turning over his bank records and credit-card statements, but Kim so far has not.

Our source added Kris is particularly keen to disprove Kim and her mother Kris Jenner's claims that they didn't profit off the wedding.

But a source close to Kim insists she never offered him $7 million and is not attacking him in the press, because "she just wants to move on."

Kardashian, 31, and Humphries, 27, married Aug. 20 in a lavish ceremony watched by more than 10 million on E! The reality star announced she was filing for divorce less than three months later, citing "irreconcilable differences." Reps for both Kardashian and Humphries declined to comment.

[From Page Six]

Well, Kim has been playing the victim in the press, but I don't really think she's gone out of her way to "attack" Kris. Kris does a good enough job at making himself look like an a–hole, Kim barely has to lift a finger. In fact, whenever Kim speaks, I'm reminded of how much I dislike her too. Anyway, I'm not sure what to make of this. I kind of think that if Kim had actually offered Kris $7 million to STFU and go away, he would taken it, and he should have taken it. If he's drawing this whole thing out just to get Kim to "admit" certain things, he really is an immature, whiny little jerk. Plus, we already know this whole thing was a giant, fake catastrophe.

Bruce Willis & Emma Heming welcome a baby girl, Mabel Ray Willis

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 05:07 AM PDT

Bruce Willis & Emma Heming

Emma Heming's pregnancy seemed to go by very quickly. Maybe that was because we barely saw her, and because Bruce Willis's ex-wife was the one getting all of the attention for the past six months. Last October, Emma and Bruce announced that they were expecting their first child together, and now Emma has given birth… to a girl! Bruce and his girls… that man will never get a son, will he? Newborn daughter Mabel Ray Willis was welcomed into this world yesterday in LA. Everybody sounds happy and healthy:

Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Hemming welcomed a baby girl, Mabel Ray Willis, Sunday in Los Angeles, Willis’s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The Die Hard actor and Hemming, a designer-model, “are overjoyed about the newest member of their family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully,” says the rep.

Weighing 9 lbs., 1 oz., Mabel Ray is the first child for the couple, who have been married for three years.

Willis has three other daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, with his ex-wife, Demi Moore.

[From People]

Bruce just turned 57. Emma is 33 years old. Bruce's oldest child is Rumer, at 23 years old (Scout is 21, Tallulah is 18). My guess is that Emma and Bruce are just going to have the one kid together, but I always forget how young Emma is. She might get pregnant again, you never know. Bruce might have another chance for a son. What I kind of love about Bruce, though, is that he seems happy to be a father of all girls. By all accounts, he's a doting and stable father.

Anyway, congrats to Emma, Bruce and baby Mabel Ray. In case you're wondering, Chad Lowe and Dermot Mulroney also have daughters named Mabel. So it's something of a trend in Hollywood. It's such an old-fashioned name! What's next? "Ethel"? Maple Bacon?

Adele goes vegetarian, plans to lose a lot of weight with her boyfriend

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:34 AM PDT

Adele

It feels like we've been talking about Adele's weight for as long as we've been talking about her talent. Which is a shame, because Adele is crazy-talented, and she should be applauded for having a career based on, you know, MUSIC, rather than some tarted-up, sexpot image. Beyond that, I think Adele really is a physically beautiful young woman. But people continue to bitch and moan about her weight, like the fact that she's more than a size 6 is just so personally offensive to them. Most recently, Jennifer Hudson allegedly tried to push Weight Watchers on Adele, and Karl Lagerfeld made an off-hand remark about Adele being "fat" too. What's particularly grating is that it seems like Adele has actually dropped a significant amount of weight over the past year. She got sick, she had vocal chord surgery, she had to cancel her tour, and she got a new boyfriend – all of which may have contributed to her weight loss. Now The Mail's Katie Nicholl claims that Adele is actively trying to lose weight:

She was called 'too fat' by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld – and now Adele is shedding the pounds.

The singer and her charity campaigner boyfriend Simon Konecki, 36, have each lost almost a stone in the past month by following a strict vegetarian diet. The couple also go jogging with Adele's dog Louie every morning.

'The weight is dropping off them and they plan to keep dieting until the end of April,' says a friend of the 23-year-old Grammy winner, who lives with Simon in a rented £6million pile in West Sussex.

'They are inseparable – they are losing weight together, getting fit together and planning a future together. Adele says she's doing her best work and feels healthier than she has for months.'

[From The Mail]

Some of you claimed this would happen – that whenever Adele stood up for herself and her "fuller" body type, she was just lying about how happy she was and she would go on a crash diet at any moment. I don't know… it doesn't sound like Adele is now saying "I want to be a skinny mini with my t-ts out," you know? She's not "selling out". She's just gone vegetarian. She's fallen in love. She's trying to be healthier. I'll trust her… for now. I don't think she'll ever be the kind of artist who suddenly loses a lot of weight and then decides to promote a sexpot, pop-star image.

Paris Hilton freaks out over questions about her waning fame

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:26 AM PDT

Here are photos of Paris Hilton in Sydney, Australia (no doubt giving a new meaning to “down under”) while appearing at the launch of a new nightclub where her DJ boyfriend, Afrojack, was due to earn far too much money by spinning a few tunes. Stuff like this is basically the extent of Paris’ appearances these days, and her career isn’t looking to make a comeback at any point. After all, she’s already made another laughworthy go at launching a musical career (with her “Drunk Text” video) after an attempt to relaunch her reality televsion career has ended in disaster (“The World According to Paris” was cancelled after one season). Last summer, Paris threw a hissy fit and stalked out of a “GMA” interview after the interviewer asked her about her waning fame and being eclipsed by Kim Kardashian and family. Now an Aussie news station is officially “on notice” from Paris’ camp as well after they dared to ask her about life after fame:

Paris Hilton has shown how anxious she is about fading into obscurity. The heiress was greatly “offended” when questioned about losing her fame and got an Australian TV crew banned from a red carpet event for daring to broach the subject.

The socialite who has always been most famous for being famous, and well, for that pesky sex tape, was being interviewed by Australia’s morning TV show, “Sunrise,” with simple questions like what her typical day is like and the show her DJ boyfriend Afrojack was putting on that night at a big club opening.

Correspondent Edwina Bartholmew also politely asked Paris, “What about when you’re not famous anymore, what are you going to do?” The 31-year-old Hilton responded by saying that she “just wants to be able to have children and have a normal life with my kids.”

Although she said it all in her typical Paris baby-tone complete with a smile, her publicist later made it clear that the heiress was not happy with being asked about losing her fame. Sunrise producers were told that if they aired the full interview they would not be allowed on the red carpet at the club opening that night.

The show didn’t take kindly to being threatened by Hilton and ran it anyway, and the clip of the segment provides a hilarious insight into the real world of Paris.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Paris traveled Down Under with other celebrities like Minka Kelly and Nick and Vanessa Lachey for the opening The Star casino's new club, Marquee.

A peeved Paris peered off-screen and walked off camera, leading to what Harris called “a long, heated conversation with Hilton and her publicist” before taping of the segment resumed.

Things did not end on such friendly terms with Channel 7, the Australian network that broadcasts Sunrise. They’ve now been banned from interviewing Paris ever again.

Such a loss!

[From Radar]

You’d think Paris would be happy that people are still paying enough attention to her to even bother interviewing her on network television. I think she’s still in denial about how much her “star” has fallen, and she’s also probably hoping to reclaim her celebutante greatness after the inevitable coming demise of the Kardashian Klan. Make no mistake, the vast majority of humanity looks forward to the day when no Kardasian-oriented television shows are left on the airwaves, but no one is looking forward to this moment more than Paris Hilton. Of course, she thinks their exit will mean her return to glory, but she couldn’t be more mistaken.

Adam Levine & model Anne V have split up after two years together

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:25 AM PDT

Adam Levine & Anna V

Back around the beginning of February, a few tabloids reported that Adam Levine and his model girlfriend Anne V were on the verge of splitting up after two years together, or that they had already split up. Adam denied it, and he and Anne V showed up at the Grammys together. But gossip is a marathon, not a sprint, and Anne V has just announced that she and Adam are done. Poor babies.

It’s all over but the singing for Adam Levine and his model girlfriend of two years.

The Maroon 5 frontman and judge on The Voice has split from Anne Vyalitsyna, her rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

“Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner. We still love and respect each other as friends. I wish him all the best,” Vyalitsyna said in a statement.

The Russian-born Vyalitsyna, 26, also known as Anne V, met Levine, 33, at the the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue release party in early 2010, where Maroon 5 performed.

Vyalitsyna has modeled in eight consecutive SI swimsuit issues.

[From People]

Adam has always put himself out there as, like, an "intellectual" rock star, a guy who isn't just interested in a pretty face, but a woman’s mind and education and spirit. And then he just dates a succession of Victoria's Secret models. What I'm saying is that Adam is pretty much like he seems – a vapid rock star, interested in similarly vapid models. Oh, and about a month and a half ago, Adam claimed his birth control method was "pulling out". That's just an FYI for any girl who wants to jump on the Levine dong, post-Anne V. Just skip it.

Salma Hayek: “I had acne so bad it sent me into a severe depression”

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:25 AM PDT

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek covers the new issue of Lucky Magazine… I think it's the May issue. The cover shoot is meh – you can see some shots here, as well as the full cover interview. Am I the only one around here who used to love Salma back in the day, but as the years go on, I find her more and more insufferable? I get the feeling that many of you have always disliked her. But for me… it's rough because I used to consider her one of my favorite women. Not so much anymore. Anyway, Salma is trying to relate to all of us in the cheap seats, I'm assuming. Being married to a billionaire makes you forget how to relate to people, I think. Here are some highlights:

She used to be depressed about her pimples: "My skin?! When I was 25 and I left being a soap opera star in Mexico to go try to be a movie star in Hollywood and all of Mexico was laughing at me? And I could barely get work as an extra? You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne. And this acne was so bad, it sent me into a severe, severe depression. Like I couldn't leave the house. I'd wake up in the morning and lie there and touch my face before I got up, just to prepare myself to look in the mirror!"

She used to overeat too: “The next stage with that sort of depression is food – too little or too much. Guess what I did? I was fat and broken out. I couldn’t leave the house and I couldn’t pay the rent!”

A director friend saved her: "Alfonso Cuarón—amazing director—he came to the house. He did not play it down, he did not try to say, Oh you look fine. He said you can't do this to yourself and taught me to meditate, relax. I got myself back together!"

She's never Botoxed: "Botox, trust me I've been tempted—but I resist! Think about what happens to your muscles—and your skin—if you're sick and don't move for a few days. It all atrophies! Plus, if you freeze a muscle in your face, other muscles have to compensate! And once you stop, what does that look like?"

Living in Paris: "It's nuts, how good the people look, too," she continues. "Nobody's overweight, everybody's well dressed, no tennis shoes—somehow, even though they walk all over the place, everyone manages to wear real shoes, nice shoes."

Parisian hair: She points at her chic, low ponytail. "This is very Parisian. My husband, it's funny, but he hates it when I have this Parisian hair! He loves my crazy-maniac-madwoman just-got-out-of-the-shower hair. He is like the lawyer for my thick, wild, natural hair. He's like, 'Why make it suffer?' But you know for 45 years I've got this big hair, and these big boobs, and I'm this tiny person and sometimes—you just want to be … smaller." She flips the ponytail, flashes her kohl-lined lashes. "He's probably right—my mom always said, 'You think you know better than God?'"

Skincare: She went on Accutane. "I didn't want to, but it cured it. Since then my skin's forever sensitive and dry." Before this episode, her skin had always been pretty good, she says: She'd spent her childhood practically swimming in face creams and potions, all concocted by her grandmother, who gave them to family members and friends. "She'd take me with her to the pharmacy to get her materials. She knew what she was doing—she died at 96, with no wrinkles!"

Fatty foods = no wrinkles? "You know Latin people? African-American people? How our skin ages more slowly? Even though we're dramatic, we move our faces, we eat higher-fat foods, we're the ones with fewer wrinkles—it makes you wonder."

Diet and exercise: "I like to eat," she sighs. "I'm always on the edge of how much can I eat without looking too—you know. If I eat something salty, it makes me want something sweet. I eat something sweet, then I want salty. And exercise is not my thing, though I do it. "Not like Demi [Moore, her close friend]. She's so disciplined, I wish I could be like that." She looks at me; Moore has been reported to be in rehab. "You watch," she says. "Demi will be back. She's an inspiration to all women."

Looking good for her billionaire husband: "If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much."

[From Lucky]

I'm still not sure what she was promoting. Maybe her skincare line, Nuance? Probably. She's also got a part in Oliver Stone's Savages, which comes out later this year. Or maybe she was just promoting SALMA! Honestly, she doesn't come across as insufferable in this piece, and she kind of reminded me of Sofia Vergara a little bit, with the homespun wisdom of Latin grandmothers and all. As for Salma's theory about African-American and Latinos' aging and whether there's a correlation with eating fatty foods… er… what? Is that really a theory? That the more fatty foods you eat, the better you'll age?

Octomom: “I’m not on welfare, I’m getting $2,000 a month in food stamps”

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:22 AM PDT


Before Octomom Nadya Suleman got pregnant for the sixth time, having 12 embryos implanted at once (she claimed it was 6 that split, but it came out in hearings with the medical board that her fertility doctor, who lost his license, implanted 12), she was on disability and living with her parents. She was also collecting social security disability for two of her children as well as food stamps, but repeatedly claimed she was not on “welfare,” which may have been technically accurate but still sounded ridiculous. Suleman declared bankruptcy in 2008, around the time of her pregnancy, and her parents declared bankruptcy and saw their home go into foreclosure as well. Now the home that Suleman bought two years ago for $594,000 is predictably in foreclosure as she can’t be bothered to pay her rent. All the nude and bikini photoshoots, celebrity boxing, dating show appearances, staged photo ops and interviews just aren’t helping her make ends meet. She’s now on food stamps of $2,000 a month for her children. TMZ has an explanation of how she qualified for food stamps, it’s because she has 14 kids and makes under $119,000 a year, or $8,000 per person. She surely knew this before she got pregnant this last time, having used government resources for her six children for years.

TMZ also has an interview with Octo, which you can see here, in which she defends herself. I want to hear Suze Ormon sayI told you so, you stupid cow.” Here’s some of what she said, and of course it’s our fault for calling her on it after she made a spectacle of herself:

“I’m so so sick and tired of people making our business their business, and if someone has a problem with me trying to feed my kids temporarily with some help until we get on our feet.

“I think people… should be focusing on those who take advantage of the system, not those who desperately want to use it temporarily until we get on our feet.

“Hopefully we won’t be on it for more than a month or two…

“For three years I’ve been trying zero help, no food stamps nothing, I’ve been working my butt off and if [someone has] a problem with us doing anything to get some help temporarily, it’s exactly that, their problem not ours.”

Here’s a link to a story with examples of some of the stuff Suleman spends her money on, including acrylic nails and mani-pedis, multiple plastic surgery procedures and Botox, private schooling for her children, MAC cosmetics and video games. Of course people who need food stamps should get on it for their families, many people could not afford to eat without it, but this woman is a textbook example of someone gaming the system.

Update: As many of you have pointed out, her kids should not have to suffer any more than they already have. At least with food stamps she’ll be forced to spend the money on food alone.
